Publisher's Summary

First published three years ago before the print edition of Women Who Run with the Wolves made publishing history, this original audio edition quickly became an underground best seller. For it's insights into the inner lives of women, it established Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes as one of the most important voices of our time in the fields of Jungian psychology, myth, and women's mysteries.

Drawing from her work as a psychoanalyst and cantadora (keeper of old stories), Dr. Estes uses myths and folktales to illustrate how societies systematically strip away the feminine spirit. Through an exploration into the nature of the wild woman archetype, Dr. Estes helps listeners rediscover and free their own wild nature.

Loved it but wish there was an unabridged version

I love the Author's storytelling, her words and tone are so captivating... I just really would loved to have heard the full length of the book, it finished far too soon.

Amazing and insightful

I read 'Women Who Run With the Wolves' in a paperback last year and loved it. I downloaded the audio book to save me time in re-reading it only to find that the audiobook was significantly condensed. However I still adored the messages and insights within the text.
